ISOLDEI hated seeing him like this. Like he was trying to fight some invisible war that no one could see except him. He had warned me to stay away, and yes, I had said I didn’t want anything between us. But ever since he kissed me during the day, I couldn’t get him out of my head again. It was like he knew exactly what he was doing. Like he was planting a seed in me to grow and destroy me slowly. Like he wanted me to regret choosing someone else.And I did. I regretted it more with every breath I took.When I saw his bare chest, I lost it. His skin looked so warm, so real under the moonlight. His hair looked longer than before, messy, wild, like he had been running his hand through it too many times. Finnian was hot. But not just hot. He was strong. A different kind of strength. Like someone who had been burned by life too many times but still stood tall, still looked like a king even when he didn’t wear the crown.He didn’t look like Rowan.Rowan was beautiful, royal, and strong,

ISOLDE“Your Highness! Please… please have mercy,” Elsa’s voice cracked as she fell to her knees beside Daze, tears streaming down her face. “He is my mate. Please don’t kill him. He’s telling the truth!”Her voice trembled so badly I thought she would break apart right there. Daze barely lifted his head. His lips parted but no sound came. Blood dripped slowly from his shoulder, trailing across the marble floor.“Rowan, please… don’t do this,” I said, moving beside her. I didn’t even know when I knelt too. Some elders stood up, pity written in their eyes. Others stayed silent afraid to go against their king.Rowan’s jaw clenched as he rose from the throne like a predator coming to life. “Enough!” His voice thundered across the hall. The ground felt like it shook. Instantly, mouths snapped shut. Even those who had been begging lowered their eyes. “That is my judgement,” he said coldly. “In his next life, he will know who to touch.”“No! Rowan, please...” I started.“Drag him away,” he

ISOLDEMy fingers trembled as I unfolded the letter. The wax had already cracked, and the paper was soft from travel. Both Rowan and Finnian kept their eyes on me, waiting, watching every flicker on my face as I began to read;(Sister… I guessed this is where the moon goddess wanted to separate us. I never thought I would leave your side so soon, but I couldn’t turn away from my mate. He is my future, and I needed to know where my life was leading. As you always say… we can’t stay beside each other forever.I was shocked when Prince told me to run away with him. He said King Rowan had banished him, and though I’m sure he did it for a reason only he understands, it felt like freedom. I didn’t think twice. You were unconscious. If you’re reading this now that means we’re gone. Far away.We can’t enter his pack yet, not like this. He needs to recover first. Once he heals, he promised to mark me. We’ll have our ceremony. I know it pains you that you won’t be here, but it’s better this way

VELIN“Really?” I asked, my voice lifting with a joy I didn’t bother to hide.She nodded quickly. “Yes, Your Highness… she’s gone back to sleep. Now is the perfect time to do whatever we want with her.”I smiled, sharp and satisfied. “Yes. Yes, you’re right. But before anything, I need Rowan out of her side. If he stays with her, it’ll be impossible. And Finnian must go to the war first.”She bowed her head. “I’m ready to do anything you want me to do.”Of course, she was. She wanted her gone more than I did. I still didn’t know how Isolde managed to get under her skin, but somehow she did. Somehow she managed to steal from everyone.“Call me Dorian,” I said sharply. “He’ll handle the rest from there. I’ll call you once I need you.”“Yes, Your Highness.” She bowed and rushed out, not daring to waste a second.Hours dragged on like a weight. My patience thinned until Dorian finally entered. “What took you so long? I’ve been waiting here since,” I snapped, irritation burning through me.

FINNIANBlood still stained my hands when the last warrior dropped to the ground. The battlefield was loud… but suddenly silence inside me felt louder. Something was wrong. At first, I blamed the war, the exhaustion, the death around me but no. The discomfort wasn’t from the outside.It was from inside me.A sharp pain thudded in my chest, like a fist squeezing my heart. Marlin stirred. Not now. But he muttered something that froze every drop of blood in my veins.'Mate.'My eyes widened. “What did you just say, Marlin?” My voice came low, and dangerous. My wolf pushed forward, clawing for control.'Our mate is in danger! Finnian... save her!'His panic hit me hard. I darted my gaze around. Dead bodies. Bleeding men. My warriors, some groaning, some standing strong. But none of it mattered anymore.“Where is she?” I snapped. “Is she in this pack?”'No. Listen to your instinct. Don’t waste time asking questions. If she dies, it’ll stay on your soul forever.'A feral growl tore from my
